Back in the winter, Tim Henry got me hooked
on Minecraft. Due to having a life, I probably only played the game for
around 20 hours and then put it down for several months. Now that I'm
not teaching, Tim and I decided to pick it back up again. Instead of
using his netbook as a server, we figured that my mapping server would
be a good host.

By using this
guide
and this Linux start-up
script, I
managed to very quickly get a Minecraft server running on my mapping
server, which runs Ubtuntu 10.04 LTS. I don't expect many people to hop
on, but in case you're interested, the server is running on
